The Google Alphabet

By noreply@blogger.com (Michael Lieberman) on Books and TechnologyHave you ever mistakenly typed just one letter into Google? I know I have.What if you've done it using Google Suggests?Back in 2003 in a random post on his blog Doc Searles mentioned that he accidentally typed just the letter "O" into Google and got the O'Reilly web site.Buster McLeod (aka Eric Benson) picked up on this and in 2004 the first Google Alphabet was born.In 2005 Nathan Dintenfass, a web developer and blogger posted the 2005 edition of the Google Alphabet on ChangeMedia.Now, Brady Forest over at O'Reilly Radar brings us the 2008 edition:

A = amazon

D = dictionary

E = ebay

F = facebook (in 2004 this was firefox's turf)
